Good Morning America’s 10 Most Beautiful Places in America

1. Asheville, North Carolina

“GMA” viewer Alan Ostmann of Candler, N.C., nominated Asheville, a small city tucked in the Appalachian Mountains rich with art, architecture and outstanding scenery.

“I live just outside of Asheville, N.C., [bordering] the Pisgah National Forest in possibly the oldest mountains on the planet,” Ostmann wrote in his submission. “Four miles from my home is the Blue Ridge Parkway. The forest and parkway allow some of the most spectacular views I have seen anywhere in the world. I hike and bike the area daily and am always amazed at the beauty nature can reveal to us.”

A little love for my hometown!

life:

Today marks 30 years since Muhammad Ali’s last fight. (a fight, in which, he lost to Trevor Berbick)

Across five decades and through dozens of boxing bouts and portrait sessions, photographer Neil Leifer came closer than anyone ever has to capturing the essence of, arguably, the greatest athlete who ever lived. Leifer recently sat down with LIFE and selected his own favorite images of The Greatest of All Time.
